    Summary

    After the fall of the Netherbrain, Tav's home in Baldur's Gate was destroyed and Gale offers his tower as a temporary place for her to rest and heal. A very slow-burn romance starts to bloom, while Tav (named Iluviel) struggles to be ready after the things Astarion did to her.

    ~

    Lots of D&D lore and (mostly canonical) Waterdeep worldbuilding went into this fic that follows both Gale and Iluviel through their daily lives inside and outside of the wizard's tower.

    ~

    Readers said about this fic: "This fic has had me in a chokehold from Day 1. The most deliciously slowest of slow burns, yet with enough intensity and cliffhangers to keep me racing back to it as soon as a new chapter alert comes out. The world-building that has happened in this fic surpasses just about all of the other fics I've read to date, with the imagery and scenery so beautifully written I could imagine myself sitting right in the kitchen along with Gale, Tara, and Iluviel, dodging pots and pans 😁"

    Summary

    The Netherbrain was defeated. Salvatore, a Seldarine-sworn Drow, a Shadow Magic Sorcerer, defied his father. He's no longer burdened by insatiable bloodlust; no longer tethered by the threat of Faerûn's destruction or by ceremorphosis. Even with so much success, his scores settled, sacrifices had to be made for the greater good. He knew that. He always knew that.

    Things are quiet. Things are...good.

    Aren't they?

    Summary

    14 months ago, Peregrin ‘Pippin’ Murphy had a psychotic break with reality.

    She remembers herself ripped from reality by a tentacled vessel, then being infected with a squirming tadpole by a squid-faced abomination. She remembers going on a grand adventure in a fantasy world where she served justice, made friends and fell in love. She remembers entire months of this, but was only gone for weeks. Whatever Pippin was really up to during the weeks she was missing is a mystery, what she does remember she now knows to be false.

    A year since Pippins’ return to her own mind and she’s getting better. The authorities found her on the side of a highway, far from the city where she lived, the victim of a hit-and-run. The blow to her head seems to have actually helped her; she knows what reality is now. Pippin is determined to make the most of her return to the real world. She dutifully takes her medication, attends group and private sessions. She follows her doctor's orders.

    This weekend, she has been granted an overnight pass. Her first since the break. Her father is coming to collect her and bring her home for a visit.

    Or is he?

    Someone has come to collect her, anyway.

    It’s time Pippin went home.

    Summary

    “Thirty-six days. I was blessed to be by your side for thirty-six days before that bitch backstabbed you in the dark.” - Astarion to Tav

    I wrote a post-canon reverse isekai fic called A Striking Resemblance that features this line.
    This is the novelization of the canon events that proceeded that fic.

    I must stress if the tags don't do it enough, this is not a happy story. Multiple main characters die horribly. Others simply end up their most horrible selves. Faerun gets a happy ending, but the tadfools do not.

    Summary

    The rainy season in Baldur’s Gate was not to be taken lightly. The city’s hurried repairs after the Netherbrain attack were beginning to show their faults—flooded streets, crumbling walls, sagging roofs, and mold creeping into every nook and crevice.

    In Dammon’s forge, the downpour drummed incessantly against his windows.

     

    Or,
    Zevlor, Dammon, and Rolan find purpose in Baldur's Gate (and in each other)

    Summary

    Rather than depart one another’s company after their grand adventure ends, the band travels on. One day, on a whim, the fallen son of Bhaal looks to one of his partners—

    “I would like to worship you,” Nahbi announces one day, out of the blue, clarifying with, “—the way you deserve. The way I wish to.” And thus, staining them in fouled blood, in highest reverence, he does.

    Summary

    It's been five years since Moss became a mind flayer and defeated the Absolute, and they've settled into a comfortable routine of keeping Baldur's Gate safe from the shadows with the Emperor. Comfortable enough that their combined itch to go adventuring aboard The Wandering Mind can no longer be ignored.
    But there are things that must be taken care of before they can do any traveling. Loose ends to tie up, a missing shield to retrieve, and - and that little voice in the back of their brain stem, why does it sound so familiar?

    A road boat trip story about identity, duality, and flotsam that refuses to sink. Both squids have some growth to do.
    Established post-game Emps/illithid genderless Tav, second-person POV via Tav, NOT a reader/self-insert/blank slate Tav story.

She was either going to be killed by Mindflayers, get turned into one or manage to escape and die in the process of trying to reach the Gate.

    Император не любит океан. Это давно в прошлом. Но когда он закрывает глаза, он все еще может вызвать то эйдетическое ощущение — всего на короткое, едва заметное мгновение — что он вновь чувствует море собственными костями, словно физические отголоски.
